I sampled this sparkling German Pinot Noir from Rheingau last week and fell in love with it.

It’s beautiful light pink in the glass with tons of tiny bubbles.

On the nose, there are aromas of ripe strawberries with a little Fiji apple.

On the palate, I get a mouthful of creamy bubbles.  What a super mouthfeel.  Light strawberry flavors with enough richness to be great as an aperitif but also as a contrast to rich food or even cheeses.

This rosé is perfect for summer, but I know I’ll enjoy it as an every day celebration wine well past fall foliage.

Around $15.
